Solid aluminum fixtures are the most durable of the aluminum processes and tend to fare better in coastal applications as there is no corrosion, though the finish may fade or flake off if a powder coating has been applied.

Notes
Finishes for fixtures installed outdoors are subject to change due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, pollutants and other environmental conditions. Metal finishes on outdoor fixtures will naturally mature over time, changing in appearance and creating a living finish. Painted finishes on outdoor fixtures may naturally fade over time, depending on the fixture's exposure to the outdoor elements. Thus, any claim for fading, discoloration or "patina" of a finish on an outdoor fixture is not applicable to the Hinkley Lighting warranty.

Nice modern outdoor sconcesVery clean lines and overall a very nice light.

Can I put 50W bulbs instead of the 20W?

Asked by: Alejandro

Thanks for your interest in this design. Typically it is not the best idea to opt for a wattage higher than the one recommended by the manufacturer because the bulb and the socket will not be compatible. While the bulb will function at first, continued use will blow the socket and internal wiring components out, and unfortunately void any warranty on the product. Because this is an outdoor sconce, the designer had the intention of it being rather dim so as to provide indirect, ambient lighting. If you were looking for a sconce that would function as a directional or task light, check out some of the other outdoor rated spots or floods that we offer.
